On Friday night we published this blog in reaction to the allegations that investigative reporter Michele McPhee made about Hanley Ramirez being investigated for ties to fentanyl trafficking in Lawrence.

#HanleyRamirez, former @RedSox infielder, has some.. well, issues. Being eyed in connection with an ongoing federal and state investigation. Stay tuned.

Cops arrest guy in April with fentanyl who Facetimes Hanley during stop.

May 25 – Hanley gets released in a move that makes zero baseball sense.

Well, the Boston Globe’s Red Sox beat writer Pete “grand wizard” Abraham, somehow missed this story. Even though it’s completely unexplainable why Hanley would be DFA’d, given the injury concerns with Dustin Pedroia. Even if Hanley had no ties to drug dealing whatsoever, the mere fact that a major fentanyl dealer has him on speed dial and thought to Facetime him during a drug bust, is news and would warrant an investigation. And it would most certainly explain why the Red Sox got rid of a guy like Hanley, and why no other team would pick him up.

Well, the Boston Globe, which willfully chose to cover up sexual harassment in the workplace for decades, spent the entire weekend trying to discredit Michele McPhee’s real journalism. Take a look at this headline:

Translation – real news only comes from an established, but extremely outdated and lazy mainstream media outlet. The same media outlet that continues to employ Kevin Cullen, despite an investigation that concluded that he “completely fabricated” several stories about being at the Boston Marathon bombing. They’re the only ones with “actual facts.”

This has prompted headlines like this:

“Hanley Ramirez not under federal investigation.”

But…..she never said he was under federal investigation. Just that a drug dealer who Facetimed him during a drug stop said that something in the car which ended up containing drugs was intended for Hanley. Putting out a headline like this is extremely misleading because it implies that previous reports (from McPhee) said that he WAS under federal investigation, which she never did.

Before we get into this ridiculous story they just put out, let’s point out their history with and distaste for Michele McPhee. It began last year when McPhee went on the Kirk and Callahan show and broke the news that Aaron Hernandez was gay, and the murder of Odin Lloyd may have been related to that. Shortly after that Hernandez killed himself, and many have blamed her for it. Because reporters apparently are not supposed to mention previously unknown motives for a murder involving a NFL superstar if it MIGHT result in that NFL superstar killing himself. That’s how journalism works in the era of hurt feelings.

And in the weeks after this the Globe published several articles in which they try to smear McPhee as a fake news peddler. Here’s one, here’s another. They desperately wanted to show everyone that only the Globe can be trusted, because people like Turtleboy, Kirk and Callahan, and McPhee, represent a threat to their credibility. A major newspaper should not get beat to stories like this, and when they come out they try to discredit these independent journalists.

Well, in March of 2018 the Oxygen special on Aaron Hernandez special came out and his lawyer, who is also gay, said definitively that Michele McPhee was right all along – Aaron Hernandez was gay:

Long story short – she was right, the Globe tried to discredit her, then she was proven to be right and the Globe never apologized.

Now they’re trying to do it to her again with the Hanley story:

Stop right there. The Boston Globe can’t release the name of a drug dealer who was arrested, who they can EASILY find by looking at court records, because of concerns over his safety? How would releasing the name of an arrested drug dealer compromise his safety? And why in holy hell would the Globe be concerned about the “safety” of a fentanyl dealer? That doesn’t make any sense, but the Globe printed it anyway because they’re trying to make McPhee look bad.

Also, keep in mind, John Henry owns the Red Sox and the Globe. This is a massive conflict of interest, and the Globe is basically state propaganda for the Red Sox at this point. An investigative journalist insinuated that the Red Sox released Hanley due to his relationship with a drug dealer, when they publicly stated it was due to performance. In doing so she damaged their credibility, and now they’re trying to swing back at her.

Then this:

Wait…..why the hell is this lawyer anonymous?? Have you EVER heard of a defense attorney requiring anonymity when speaking with a newspaper? And why would the Globe grant him that anonymity? Oh right, because he’s saying what they want to hear. If they even spoke to him. It’s certainly not above the Globe to completely make something up. After all, they employ Kevin Cullen. They are perfectly OK with printing lies.

Just to review:

Michelle McPhee reported that a drug dealer Facetimed Hanley Ramirez during a traffic stop, and that the stop came around the same time he was DFAd by the Red Sox. Both of these statements turned out to be 100% true.

But the Globe is now printing “actual facts” which she has already stated. Huh?

Here’s a question the Globe didn’t ask – why does a fentanyl dealer pushing weight that likely came from New York (if you get arrested anywhere near the town of Sturbridge, it’s because you were bringing shit up I-84) have Hanley Ramirez on speed dial? Why is Hanley, just like Aaron Hernandez, associating with these people from his childhood who will do nothing but bring him down? Why would the drug dealer feel so comfortable Facetiming Hanley during a stop like this?

And why did this random guy on Twitter know about it on May 25?

I would investigate the local law enforcement regarding Hanley, his car, and something that shouldn’t have been in there, Jared. More to this story than’s being reported. #insidesources

Of course if Hanley had any knowledge of this he’s going to deny it on Facetime to the cops. Because if he did know that there were drugs in that package, and he said the package was intended for him, that’s an automatic arrest. The drug dealer gave it a shot, hoping the cops were big Red Sox fans, it failed, they found the drugs, and then he tried to cover for his boy Hanley who more than likely has been very good to him over the years due to their lifelong friendship.

Wouldn’t you? Picture if you were in this guy’s position. You have drugs in the car. You know the cops are going to find it and your only hope of them not searching your car is if you play the Hanley card. Regardless of whether or not Hanley knew about the drugs, Hanley damn well knows what this guy does for a living and is going to deny everything. After his attempt to keep them from searching the car failed this guy immediately regrets his decision and pleads with the cops that Hanley dinno nuffin. After all, there’s still a chance Hanley might pay for his lawyer. Probably not anymore though.

Of course the Red Sox denied knowing anything about this:

The “released for baseball reasons” makes zero sense. After all, this random guy knew about it:

I would investigate the local law enforcement regarding Hanley, his car, and something that shouldn’t have been in there, Jared. More to this story than’s being reported. #insidesources

Then there’s the fact that none of the other 29 teams have picked him up, considering that the Red Sox are paying almost all of his salary. There’s hardly a team in the league who couldn’t use his services at that price. So why wouldn’t they pick him up? Hmmmm….maybe, just MAYBE, the Red Sox put the word out that this news might be breaking down the line. Maybe these professional liars are lying once again. Maybe.

And how is it at all newsworthy for the Globe to print that Hanley “has no knowledge of any of the allegations contained in his media report and he is not aware of any investigation.” Does the Globe think the police would tell him if he was being investigated? That’s not how drug cases go. Jesus Christ, does anyone watch The Wire?

According to “the attorney,” who is not named, law enforcement never believed that Hanley had anything to do with the drugs:

You gotta be kidding me. How would this lawyer know whether or not the cops were looking into Hanley? Do you think that’s something they’d tell the lawyer of the guy who was arrested for the drugs in the first place? Of course not.

And does anyone honestly believe that the cops wouldn’t investigate Hanley after this? A drug dealer Facetimed him during a stop and made allegations that a package containing drugs was going directly to Hanley’s house. Oh yea, I’m sure they didn’t look into that one at all.

Here’s what probably happened:

The stop happens in April, the drug dealer tried to use Hanley card to keep car from being searched, Hanley wisely played dumb, guy realizes he fucked up when he gets arrested and loses faith of now former filthy rich friend in one night

Cops who made the stop obviously are blown away by that one time they spoke to Hanley Ramirez on Facetime during a drug stop (which would be the coolest night of work ever), they likely tell people who then tell other people like Jim from Twitter, and the information eventually makes its way to the Red Sox

Not wanting anything to do with this shady situation the Red Sox DFA Hanley, but wait a couple weeks for Pedroia to come back from injury so they have a reason to give the media

Since no one else is reporting it Michele McPhee feels confident enough in her sources to report that this incident happened, and that the timeline matches up, both of which turn out to be true

The Boston Globe attempts to smear Michele McPhee with a misleading headline because John Henry’s brand is damaged (again) by putting out a misleading headline in a story that simply confirms everything McPhee reported.

It works:

Mostly Michele McPhee.Anyone That Trusts Her OnAny Story Should Have Their Heads Examined.

She embarrassed herself on this one, a complete lie, he was NEVER NEVER NEVER under investigation. She lied and didn't even get anyone to corroborate this story. She has 000000 CREDIBILITY now and in the future

U had this one wrong, no biggie you just ran @HanleyRamirez name through the mud and what for to sell a book, click bait or you don't care who you hurt. This is why no one trust reporters any more and @WEEI@985TheSportsHub you got played. 👏👏👎👎when is the retraction

I have never known of a lawyer who didn’t want to be named so they could get more clients. Maybe this lawyer is on salary working for Dominican dealers, and thus wants a low profile. The only other reason to stay anonymous is if they violate client confidentiality which could get them disbarred.

Huge fan of Turtleboy, but what ever came of Michele McPhee’s drunk driving arrest a few years back, that was pretty much swept under the rug? If I remember correctly, she was accused of using the “Do you know who I am?” excuse when stopped and lost her license for a bit.
